SSR deletes restore point after creating it

$

I need a solution

Running SSR 2011 on Windows 2008 R2 server.  SSR has started deleting a recovery point immediately after creating it, with the result I have no recovery points at all.

This backup system ran for several years without a problem.  Recently, for unknown reasons, the backup destinations had become garbled.  I corrected the paths and the backups are now running but are being deleted after creation.

Since I now have no backups, I'm willing to reset anything that might help fix this problem.

Thanks!

Configuration:

Drives and backup destinations:
    System Reserved (*:\) to F:\Server Images\Server_C\System Reserved0-1_Drive.v2i
    JLTServer-C (C:\) to F:\Server Images\Server_C\C_Drive.v2i

Scheduled backup time:
    At 11:30 PM every day, starting 10/29/2011
    Next run time: 7/17/2015 11:30 PM

Options:
    Backup name: Server C and Reserved
    Compression level: Standard
    [X] Verify recovery points after creation
    No of Recovery points: 7
    [  ] Search engine support
    [X] Prepend computer name to backup data file names

I need a solution

Hello Champions,

    I am new to the netbackup and need help to upgrade netbackup appliance and netbackup. We currently running NBU Appliance 2.6.02 and NBU version 7.6.0.1. We are planning to upgrade to 2.6.1.2 and NBU version 7.6.1.2. I have few questions to ask they may sound stupid but need help to understand NBU.

   We have two Netbackup master servers one is appliance and standalon master server. I was able to find appliance EEb but i could not find the NBU version image.

Do we need to install NBU appliance version first and NBU version next? if yes where can i find the NBU version 7.6.1.2?

Do I need to install both images on both servers?

     I am totally confused between appliance version and netbakcup version. Answers to my stupid questions will be appreciated. 

Thank you All.

I am unclear on what to name the machine (same as old server?), should I create the same domain name?

Thanks

I do not need a solution (just sharing information)

One of the cooler things to come with our NetBackup 7.7 release is a brand new manual called the Logging Reference Guide - 155 pages of (hopefully) EVERYTHING you would need to know about how NetBackup logs, what logs, what logs WHERE, and how to use logs to troubleshoot your issues as well as what support's gonna ask you for if you end up opening a case with US.  Our super Technical Publications team sought a lot of Engineering AND Support input to help make this manual the best it could be.

Put this one on your summer reading list!

I need a solution

I just replaced our tape library from a Dell Powervault "older model" to a Dell TL-2000.

I did a 4 GB backup job to get a feel for the speed of the job rate. The job rate came in at about 450Mb/min.

We have had other jobs come in a 1.6GB/min.

Question

"What" and "where" can i look  to make sure I am configured with "proper settings" and/or "latest 'req'd stuff'" to maximize my job rate?

Cleaning slot "missing"

I need a solution

We just installed an upgraded tape library. New one is TL-2000

In the oper control panel, I have the TL-2000 set to 'auto-clean' However, the BExec user interface under 'slots' does not show that specific slot number as if it dsnt exist.

I decided to 'toggle off' the setting in the TL-2000 oper control panel where i selected 'dont auto-clean'. However, this did not alter my user interface result in BExec.

How can i get the media server to see all the slots? (Note: in the TL-2000 i do have 23 slots selected as 'Active'. BExec sees 22)

Thanks!

I need a solution

I am in process of replacing a backup drive with a new larger drive.  I have created a drive label for the new drive which ssr sees in the status and advanced windows.  You can see the new drive Hitachi_3000 (I:\)

180px_01 ssr status.jpg

180px_02 ssr advanced.jpg

However when I go to move the Backup Destination, ssr thinks the new drive "I:\ is not currently named"

What is going on here and how do I fix this?

Exchange 2010 DAGs and licensing requirements

I need a solution

A very quick question that I can't seem to find an answer to online:

Do I need an "Application and Database" license for each member of my DAG, or just one for each member of my DAG that I back up?

e.g.  I have a DAG with an active server at data centre 1 and a passive copy at data centre 2.
I run all of my backups from the passive copy at data centre 2.
Do I need 1 license, or 2?

I currently have enough licenses for every member of the DAG, but renewal is coming up and I was hoping that I could drop one from the renewal quote.

Thanks

NBU selection list wrong order

$

I need a solution

Hello all,

We've got the following situation:

We are doing a ndmp backup to tape with NetBackup 7.6.1.

The selection list looks like this:

NEW_Stream
Path1
NET_STREAM
Path2
NEW_STREAM
Path3

NEW_STREAM
Path30

What happens is that Path2 is backuped at the end (after Path30).

We had an issue with a Tape Drive - because of this Path2 failed first of all and at the end there was a second try of Path2 what succeded because another Drive was used.

Meanwhile the defect Tape Drive was replaced but unfortunately the behaviour that Path2 is backed up at the end is still there.

We have already cleaned the selection list, restarted NBU Services, typed in the selection list correctly (as it has been before).

Then the backup ran fine with the correct order - until the second backup.

After the second try everytime Path2 is backed up again after Path30.

We have already checked the "includes" file (\INSTALL\Veritas\NetBackup\db\class\Policyname) 

There the order is also correct.

Does anyone have an idea why NetBackup is doing this?

Thank you very much!

Best regards

I would like to duplicate some backups to a UNC storage. Backup exec 15 gives an error;

the path appears to be an invalid path. Logged in as domain administrator at the Backup exec server. Has all rights at the share. Can access it from the Backup Acces server.

Even given the share everybody all rights.

Tried both dns and ip adres. No difference. Other shares within the network the same error.

Any help appreciated,

Kind regards, Michael

Duplicate to tape. Is this right? Is what I am seeing correct?

I need a solution

I have a new install BE 2015 and I am running dedupe NA filer backups for a few weeks. All is good. But I need to offisite a full backup to tape(s) once a month. I have a few full backups to the dedupe storage and taking one backup as an example, its 3TB. When I duplicate to tape its like 300MB. Is this correct? It seems tiny compared to the backup size of 3TB. I am a bit concerned that I am not taking anything to tape,

I was under the impression that when duplicate to tape was conducted (from a dedupe backup) that the data would be re-hydrated as in back to its original size. But then in the back of my mind I am thinking that this could be right.

Not a problem. Just a bit concerned.

I could of course just do a full backup to tape one week in four. But this doesnt seem right somehow.

Can anyone confirm if this is right or not.

Chris.
